Hair Loss and Thinning Hair

Thinning Hair. What can cause it and what can help?

Hair can start to become thin at any stage of your life; it is not something that necessarily comes with ageing, there are many factors that can contribute to your hair becoming thin and sparse. Often the reason is down to genetics and can develop during certain times of your life.

There are six key factors that can be the reason that you experience thinning of the hair.

Genetics, stress and trauma, nutrition and diet, health issues, environmental factors and medication. All of these factors can contribute or be the cause of hair loss of for your hair to become thin.

When it comes to thinning hair this can mean either; fewer strands of hair, your hair strands themselves can become finer or it can be because your scalp is in poor condition and the hair is not in a good environment.

There is another cause of hair loss, and this can be down to hormone changes during pregnancy. Pregnancy affects everything, including your skin, nails and hair. After childbirth your estrogen levels drop suddenly and your hair follicles that are resting can fall out. This is all due to fluctuating hormones and hair loss can be experienced during and after pregnancy. You would normally experience hair loss between three to six months after giving birth, however it is often that as your bodies hormone level returns to its natural, pre-pregnancy hormone levels your hair tends to revert back to its normal state.
